While it has been common for women to breast-feed their young male relations so that they may be allowed together alone later, two Saudi clerics recently advocated extending the practice to unrelated adult males.
As part of Islamic law, men and women are forbidden to be alone together, unless they are blood relatives or have established maternal relations, in order to prevent sexual contact.
As a way to avoid breaking this rule — which can result in lashings or prison time — Sheikh Al Obeikan, adviser to the royal court and consultant to the Ministry of Justice, told Gulf News that women should give their breast milk to male colleagues, acquaintances or anyone with whom they come into regular contact.
"The man should take the milk, but not directly from the breast of the woman," Al Obeikan said, according to Gulf News. "He should drink it and then becomes a relative of the family, a fact that allows him to come in contact with the women without breaking Islam's rules about mixing."
While Al Obeikan advises that milk should be pumped and then given in a glass, another Saudi sheik, Abi Ishaq Al Huwaini, argues that men should suckle directly.
Soon after these proclamations, a Saudi bus driver allegedly asked a female teacher, whom he drives frequently, for her breast milk, according to AOL News. The teacher refused and is threatening to sue.

Following the path of Britain , Canada too decided not to entertain the nonsenses by Zakir Naik in their country. Canada also banned Indian Jihadi terrorist Zakir Naik from addressing fanatic crowds in Toronto.

The "Keep Zakir Naik Out of Canada" Facebook group, which was launched over the weekend was instrumental in moulding public opinion against this Jihadi's true colour. Muslim Canadian Congress also campaigned against his visit. "We certainly don't want hate-mongers to come here.", Told Tarek Fateh leader of Muslim Canadian Congress.

Mean while back in India Zakir Naik and his cohorts like Mahesh Bhatt were seen airing threats and use of diplomatic channel to convince Britain to revoke their decision. According to Zakir he plans to approach Union external affairs minister SM Krishna to get the ban revoked. Mean while his Jihadi followers will stage protest infront of British High Commission in Mumbai demanding justice to their 'Innocent' leader.

When A.K. Antony said it earlier, the whole Malayalam media jumped on him and it even affected the results of some subsequent elections. Every one of the so-called intellectuals accused Antony for his anti-minority statement. All that he said was ‘Minority communities in Kerala are more organized and they are getting much more than what is legitimately due”. For anyone who is familiar with Kerala’s politics and sociology, this is the truth and nothing but the truth. Christians and Muslims who make up 25% each of the state’s population are enjoying much more their share in everything that is state funded and state owned. The condition of paper-majority Hindus is going from bad to worse under the alternate UDF and LDF governments.

When a state’s Chief Minister (who belongs to the minority community himself) is making such a statement, the gravity of the situation is obvious. One should remember that he is a constitutional authority and he is speaking with all authority and knowledge. It is not like any other politician or he himself when is not the Chief Minister. Yet no one took it seriously in the way it should have been. An independent and alert media would have completely exposed the situation with all facts and figures. But the minority-managed (and NRI funded) media was too eager to put out the fire of truth unleashed in their unworthy ‘fortress of minority rights’ by the Chief Minister. The silence of NSS, SNDP, KPMS etc., was too loud and pathetic.

And now, the state’s Chief Minister has said it again. This time by comrade Achudanandan. Kerala’s minority community outfits are growing in strength and their bargaining power is intimidating even the state authority. KCBC, Jamat-E-Islami, PDP, NDF etc., are openly challenging authority of a duly elected state government in all spheres. In the educational sector, the Church run institutions are in open defiance and they care two hoots for the state government. And extremist Islamic elements, with a growing terrorist identity, are openly challenging state’s authority in even law and order issue. Very soon the state will not be in a position to protect even the lives and basic fundamental rights of its majority citizens if the trend continues. Under UDF the situation is expected to be worse, until & unless the truly secular leaders start blowing their whistles

The Fast Track Court (5), Bangalore on Tuesday deferred the anticipatory bail application of Islamist leader Abdul Nasser Madani, 31st accused in the Bangalore bombings case, to June 29 for detailed examination after the Karnataka Police filed its counter-affidavit vehemently arguing against granting bail. This was the second deferment of Madani’s bail application in four days.

KATHMANDU: Normal life in Nepal's western districts was disrupted today as a lesser known Hindu organisation enforced a two-day shut down in support of its demand to restore the country as a Hindu state.

Transport services, businesses, markets and educational institutions remained closed in western districts, including Dang, Salyan, Rukum, Rolpa and Pyuthan, for the past two days as Bhishma Ekta Parishad enforced its shut down.

Thrissur: Paremekkavu Temple under Cochin Devaswom honoured a Muslim girl with Gold Medal for gaining high marks in Plus 2. Suharabi, A Muslim student of Paremmekkavvu Devaswom college had earlier waived the college fees and other educational expenses as she was from a poor family.

While HK appreciate the gesture shown by Temple authorities would like to ask about the stand taken by Cochin, Travancore and Malabar Devaswom boards in supporting Hindu students from poor background. When whole government machinery is utilized to provide 'n' number of schemes and scholarships to 'empower' children in the name of 'Minority' upliftment, Hindu students are neglected and pushed aside by the very same government. Why not the Devaswom board who came forward to support Suharabi come up with projects to support Hindu students who are struggling to compete with others due to one sided Government initiatives?

HK wishes all success to Suharabi in her future life and hopes that she will be able to liberate herself through the power of true knowledge and wisdom from the shackles of suppression and oppression imposed upon her by her male counterparts . And we pray that let no Deobands in the country impose fatwa on her for collecting a honour from the money generated by Kafirs.

All stupids are going behind secular image No problem in helping a Muslim girl by Devaswom college.

But the main question arising from this article is about the policy of negligene towards the Hindu students by their own Devaswom boards!

These Devaswom boards are for what purpose ? Are they doing any favour for Hindus ? Only looting Hindus money and not doing anything for the improvement of Hindu society ! Shame .. we are Indians .. where we will go to complain ?

All the impotent political leaders are shameless in neglecting Hindus and taking their votes and money, and the majority Hindu voters are also stupids in India especially in the so called "100%" Literacy state Kerala !

The Bihar Chief Minister and JD(U) leader, Mr Nitish Kumar, apparently trying to emerge as the face of a possible third front in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls is looking at an option to delink his outfit from the “communal” BJP.

Ashoka was so horrified by the devastation caused by war that he renounced unnecessary violence. He did not, however, renounce Kalinga.

Nitish Kumar was so horrified by a photograph -- apparently! -- that he is on the verge of renouncing a -- seemingly! -- unnecessary ally. He will not, however, resign the chief ministership.

Sushil Kumar Modi's wife, you see, is Jessie George, a Christian lady whose roots are in Kerala [ Images ]. (Doesn't quite fit the popular conception of an RSS member, does it?) Back in the days before he was surrounded by layers of ministerial security, Modi would escort his wife to church each Sunday, patiently waiting outside on his scooter until services finished. It is going to be slightly difficult to paint such a man as 'anti-secular'.

Nor has Sushil Kumar Modi been anything but an ideal colleague. He has been both honest and diligent. If Bihar is now on the highway to growth the state's finance minister deserves some credit for the fact.

Let us check the facts. Nitish Kumar was the Union railway minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee [ Images ] ministry when there were riots in Gujarat in 2002, and he did not resign at the time, did he? And the chief minister of Bihar knew who his Gujarat counterpart was when he accepted a cheque for flood relief after the Kosi [ Images ] rose in spate, didn't he? Isn't it slightly late in the day for Nitish Kumar to mount the moral high horse?

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has approached spiritual leaders to appeal to their followers not to mention their caste in the second phase of the census. The organisation is also trying to launch a national forum to oppose the caste-based census. Senior RSS functionary MG Vaidya spoke to DNA regarding the organisation’s stand and the politics behind the issue.

I fear that once such a census is approved there will be a demand to reserve constituencies on the basis of caste. It will divide society and the country.

Though the caste-based census was stopped in 1931, the opposition to this practice had begun in 1911 itself. A British officer had mentioned in his report that the so-called lower caste was trying to register itself as upper caste. Till date we have no mechanism to verify caste. I fear now people from higher castes will try to register themselves as lower castes to get the benefit of reservation.

I see confusion in two major political parties, Congress and BJP, over the issue. There is no way to understand what their stand is. A Congress MP Ajay Makan has openly told the party’s MPs to oppose the move. BJP’s deputy leader in Lok Sabha Gopinath Munde demanded the caste-based census, but did not get any party support. I sought clarification from the BJP on the issue, but did not get an answer. Manmohan Singh can ask a GoM to give an early report on the Bhopal gas tragedy. Is the caste issue not important for him?

Criminal investigators are examining allegations that Afghan security firms have been extorting as much as $4 million a week from contractors paid with US tax dollars and then funneling the spoils to warlords and the Taliban.

If the allegations are true, the U.S. would be unintentionally financing the enemy and undermining international efforts to stabilize the country.

The payments reportedly end up in insurgent hands through a $2.1 billion Pentagon contract to transport food, water, fuel and ammunition to American troops stationed at bases across Afghanistan. To ensure safe passage through dangerous areas, the trucking companies make payments to local security firms with ties to the Taliban or warlords who control the roads. If the payments aren't made, the convoys will be attacked, according to a US military document detailing the allegations being examined by investigators.

The document says the companies hired under the Afghan Host Nation Trucking contract may be paying between $2 million and $4 million a week to insurgent groups.

Family sources said the member of Parliament from Pilibhit will tie the knot with Yamini Roy Chowdhury, a Bengali, in December. Political watchers feel the occasion could turn out to be an opportunity for the revival of relations between the ‘bahus’ of the Nehru-Gandhi clan, Sonia and Maneka.

News about the high-profile wedding broke when Varun’s mother Maneka Gandhi, the BJP MP from Aonla in West Uttar Pradesh, visited Varanasi to do trousseau-shopping for her would-be daughter-in-law. The sources said she was looking for Banarasi sarees, but since she didn’t like the gaudy colours available, she left after placing an order for sarees to be specially made.

Varun has known the Delhi girl for a few years. Originally from Shanti Niketan (West Bengal), Yamini graduated from Delhi’s St Stephen’s College, and pursued a fashion designing course at a university in France.

The marriage promises to be a major event in the political calendar given the probability of Sonia Gandhi attending the nuptials along with Rahul and Priyanka. Despite Maneka’s strained relations with Sonia, Varun is known to have maintained close ties with the Gandhi family all along.

The union home ministry has asked President Pratibha Patil's office to reject parliament attack convict Afzal Guru's mercy plea, informed sources said.Guru is on the death row since 2002 for the 2001 parliament attack. His wife Tabassum filed a mercy petition with the Rashtrapati Bhavan four years ago.
